5. command not valid because for this you have to use mvdir instead of mv. mv only for files
*

theres no such thing as mvdir and issuing mv dir1 dir2 is totally valid.. by issuing that command, dir1 will be copied into dir2 along with their contents if dir2 is already exist.. if dir2 is not yet created/exist, dir1 will be renamed to dir2 wink.gif

Using Lucid Lynx. Suddenly it cannot hibernate . Need help  icon_question.gif

is that means that you can hibernating your box before ?
how much swap did you got ?

it is better to have swap partition twice the size of RAM..
but doesnt have to exceed 2GB..

e.g:
RAM 256MB, swap should be 512MB
RAM 1GB, swap should be 2GB
RAM 4GB, swap should be 2GB

For newer Linux OS if ur physical memory is large enough you wudnt even need a swap space.

actually, you gonna need a swap space if you're going to use hibernation, at least for ubuntu it is.. nod.gif

and after googling a few minutes, i got this bit of information about how hibernation (suspend-to-disk) works..:

CODE
1. User requests for software suspend (e.g: hibernation button clicked)
2. All the running processes are given the suspend signal
3. The devices are frozen so that they don’t change the system state when the snapshot is taken
4. The memory image is atomically copied with interrupts disabled
5. Frozen devices are awakened so that the image can be written
6. The image is written to swap
7. Devices are suspended and the system powered off

and to resume (e.g: power button swicth on), the process will reversed.

Yup. Before this can hibernate.  nod.gif

Ek. Can't really remember how much my swap is, but my RAM is 2GB, perhaps the swap is 2GB also  sweat.gif

you can check by issuing free -m smile.gif

and if its to small, expand it.. at least, to be equal with your RAM coz the system will place your-currently-running-application image on swap partition.. imagine if your swap partition is 512MB and image-to-be-place is 1.5GB.. hmm.gif

is this release contain ubuntu 10.04 and several updates (that can be obtains via update manager) ?
if i already owned the 10.04, for lets say 2-3 months, do i have to use this release ?
i always updating my box, so those updates included should already installed in mine, isnt it ?
